  • Vigil held for security guard Harmandeep Kaur killed at UBC Okanagan

Hundreds of people have gathered for a vigil at the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus for a security guard who was fatally assaulted at work last weekend.

24 year old Harmandeep Kaur died in a Kelowna hospital after being attacked early last Saturday morning.

R-C-M-P say a suspect who was also working at the university was arrested under the Mental Health Act and could face a murder charge.

U-B-C-O deputy vice-chancellor Lesley Cormack says flags at the campus were also being lowered in memory of Kaur.
